The minor plate varieties are scarce, considering that these stamps have been selected from dozens of 5 Pesos stamps from all the issues. Immediately below are singles of the 5p1L and the 10P1L. The 5P1L has a mangled lower line. This 5 Pesos plate study is divided into several major sections: there are several major plate varieties for which I have at least two specimens, and there are several minor plate varieties, represented here by one specimen. I also have a section for printing shifts, specimens with overall plate wear, and multiples showing at least one plate variety. Below, I include thumbnails to the major plate varieties. The thumbs are also linked.

Below are two 5P1L's. The first has a line break, and the second a scratch outside the right edge.
